Stephanie Sutton

Brookfield native Stephanie Sutton returned to Wisconsin to join WISN 12 News as a sports reporter in April 2003.

Stephanie covered the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball teams in back-to-back Final Four runs in 2014 and 2015. She was at Miller Park when the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first division title in 29 years, and has followed both of the Brewers playoff runs in 2008 and 2011. She's traveled with the Super Bowl XLV Champion Green Bay Packers to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Barack Obama at the White House, and has interviewed sports celebs that include Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Braun, Tiger Woods and John McEnroe.

She says she also really enjoyed her time as an entertainment reporter in Hollywood in the spring of 2012 covering Packers wide receiver Donald Driver's run to the Mirror Ball Trophy on "Dancing With The Stars."

Stephanie came from KNTV, the NBC affiliate in San Francisco, where she worked as a sports anchor and reporter, covering major sporting events like the World Series from Anaheim, and Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego.

Stephanie's other career highlights include working as a producer with ABC Sports in New York. She also served as a sports anchor/reporter at WAPT-TV, a Hearst-Argyle station, and WJTV, both in Jackson, Miss.

Stephanie is an award-winning journalist who has been honored three times by the Associated Press for "Best Sports Story" (in Wisconsin in 2007 and 2011 and in Mississippi). She also won the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Award for "Best Sports Reporting" in a major market in 2005 and has been honored by the Milwaukee Press Club.

A graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she credits her love for sports to her athletic background. In 1987, Stephanie and her sister were Wisconsin State High School Doubles Champions in tennis.

Stephanie and her husband, Brian, are the proud parents of Kate, Will and Holly.
